About Me...

I am a life long crafter. As kid I was "artsy" as an adult
I guess I still am. Fundamentally I like to create things
and started this blog not only as a way to share ideas
and connect with other crafters, but as a way to make
sure I'm at least little crafty each day. After all, if you
have a craft blog but no crafts- what the heck are you going to talk about!

Giveaway- Simply Screen Custom Silk Screen Kit by Plaid

When I woke up back in January 2009 with the impulsive idea of starting a blog I'm not sure I had any expectations of how it would turn out. But I can tell you this, so far this little blog has exceeded anything I'd hoped it would be, and I'm looking forward to all the crafty possibilities 2012 holds.

Today is my three year blogiversary so we're going to celebrate by having a giveaway!

And Plaid has kindly offered to send one lucky commenter their very own Simply Screen Custom Silk Screen Kit.

Based on my experience I think it's the perfect kit for beginners and experienced silk screeners alike. This kit would make a great gift OR keep it for yourself and use it make great gifts.

This would be awesome to win! I would definitely use this to make shirts with my teens - they are always painting or ironing on things to shirts for their classes & friends, so this would be a much better and professional-looking finish for them!

Congrats on your Blogiversary! If I won the kit, I'd print silhouettes of my dogs' heads on pillow covers. Emily and Yoda's crates are in the family room, so we'd use the pillows on the sofa in that room

I have never done screen printing before but it is something I am definitely interested in. Being a huge DIYer and aspiring fashion designer applying my designs and ideas to fabric is something I have been doing and this could make it even easier! I'm not sure if my email is in my profile so here it is rhinestoneddreams@aol.com!

I've done silk screening since college, and I've taught it in public schools, but I've never used a system as easy as Plaid's Simply Screen! Even people who've never silk screened before are successful!!!

I have not done silk screen - but have certainly purchased many a silk screen item!! I love the look - and would love to use it to design some wonderful prints for children - starting with my twin neices and ending with my 80+ mother -- all children at heart! I can't wait!!!

I love this lesser expensive version of screening. If I won, I would use it to make some T-shirts of ocean scenes for me and my sister to wear when we take our trips to Florida for rest and relaxation.

Did silk screening in high school, and have been wanting to give it a go again. I have neices and nephew who would love tee shirt that are personalized just for them, thats what I would start with. The I would be all set to get these creative juices flowing and make a variety of projects that have been sitting on the back burner for a long long time. Congrats on the 3 yrs, hope you have many more to follow.

Congratulations on your blogiversary! I'm a new reader but have been devouring the archives. I've done freezer paper stenciling (and found it rather fussy) but would love to try screen printing for real!

I've toyed with the idea of silk screening for several years now, so I could make my hubby and me some great matching sci-fi tees. Thanks so much for this awesome giveaway and huge congrats on your 3rd bloggerversary!Big hugs,Arielle

Hi, I am homeschooled and would use the silk screening for my art projects and our 4-H horse club .We are planing to make t-shirts for fundraisers to help our local horse and donkey rescues. I hope I win!

I haven't done silk screening on my own yet, so this would be great. Looks like a wonderful kit. Its hard to find great craft materials around here. Im in the middle of wyoming and its at least 5 hours drive to any sort of craft shops. Thanks Jerri

What a great give-away! We've been making shirts with cut vinyl stencils and spray paint since the children were small; it would be awesome to be able to silk screen some! Thank you(forgot my email *blush*)cookiefootmama@yahoo.com
